Hi Brad,
Likely port of immigration into Canada could be Grosse Island in Quebec,
Canada.
Your best bet concerning Tartaraghan, Armagh, Ireland is the PRONI
unfortunately you or a representative will need to visit and look at the
Parish records that are more than likely on Microfilm, I know for a fact
that the Portadown ones are for the Church of Ireland (C.O.I) as I have
seen them.
You may need to hire a professional researcher in Ireland, rather
expensive I must admit, easier to do it your self if possible.
